Designed by mums, for mums

Ubere Mama was founded by me, a breastfeeding mum who struggled to find comfortable and fashionable clothing to wear whilst breastfeeding in public.

While breastfeeding eventually worked for me, the quality of breastfeeding clothes didn’t. As a fashion designer, I wanted a range that would boost my confidence, support my independence and work just as hard as I did.

Where are we now?

Fast-forward 10 years and Ubere Mama is now helping lots of women like me dress for breastfeeding success.

I am on a mission to give women the choice and support they need to make breastfeeding work for them. Not just through sustainable British-made breastfeeding clothes that stand the test of time, but by building a network of breastfeeding advocates across the nation to make a lasting difference, now and for years to come.

Sustainability

I have worked hard to improve my products and all of the cottons used now are organic and the polyesters are recycled. My new zippers are all recycled polyester tapes.

I believe in circular fashion and I am giving our customers the option to return products when finished with in exchange for a voucher refund. I then give other customers these preloved item at a lower price than new items.

Ubere Mama has been awarded by Wenta Net Bronze status and now working towards silver and then Gold where I will then submit for my business carbon footprint rating.

Made in Britain

Although cheaper manufacturing from Europe and the Far East is alluring it is important that Ubere Mama sources fabrics and trims through UK companies – and I have taken the choice to design and manufacture all Ubere Mama garments in the UK.

I became a Member of the UK Trade organization Make it British – where there is a huge following of brands across a broad spectrum of manufacturing sectors that are turning more to have their goods made in the UK. Wanting to contribute in returning growth to the UK Fashion and Textile Industry – but more importantly caring about reducing the large carbon footprint that Fashion stamps across the world That is why I have made the Make It British commitment.

Things do, and probably will, go wrong in manufacturing. Keeping manufacturing local means easily to get to, and resolve, any issues quickly.
Fast delivery is possible to and from anywhere within the UK. No more waiting weeks while new stock is at sea. Product can be on line, ready to sell, straight away.

The results of a recent Make it British survey found that ‘When it comes to building trust, knowing that a retailer is selling goods that are made in the UK is one of the main things that gives shoppers the confidence to buy’.
The more products that are made in the UK, the more job security and opportunities for providing skills there will be.
By simply taking out the travel to and from an overseas manufacturer, and the shipping of samples and goods, it will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of product.
All areas of Ubere Mamas' product chain, from labelling, trims, fabrics and garment manufacturing-are sourced from UK companies. We have a strong heritage of design and manufacturing in Britain.
